Dotty Lou Constable

Dotty Lou Constable, age 70 of Mt. Olive Road, Rio, WV, passed away Thursday evening, July 28, 2022, at the Winchester Medical Center in Winchester, VA, surrounded by her family.

Born on September 24, 1951, in Fabius, WV, she was a daughter of the late Vernon Allen Helmick and Erma Lee Crider Helmick. A son, Michael Scott Constable, and a sister, Anna Myers also preceded her in death.

Surviving is her husband, Waldo Wayne Constable; a son, Dwayne (Rhonda) Constable of Baker, WV; a sister, Linda (Richard) Wolfe of Moorefield, WV; two granddaughters: Chelsea Graham and Shyane Sanchez; four grandsons: Drew, Dalton, Mikey, and Seth Constable; along with 6 great-grandchildren: Jillian, Jackson, & Genevieve Graham, Raeya Constable, and Milagros, & Manuel Sanchez.

Dotty loved her family. She enjoyed fishing, shooting, and riding her four-wheeler that she nicknamed the M&M, for “Mike & Mom” after her late son, Michael. She savored good food and especially loved seafood. In recent years, she found enjoyment in reading her Bible. Dotty was short in stature but mighty in spirit; never one to let her opinions go unknown. She worked for several years as a custodian at Moorefield High School, and some of her favorite memories were made with the students who she would frequently refer to as “her kids.”

Dotty’s request to be cremated has been honored and a private family service will be held at a later date.
